what do you get when trying to open the files  with relative filenames
(without OSC)?

The same error!
Looks that I need to provide the absolute path cause I cannot open the file even if I place it in the same patch's path.
I guess the solution will be using [getdir], as I read in a thread similar to this, to dinamically get the patch's path (this app should work in different computers so this is needed).

Another question I have related to oggread~ is; I'm using it cause, as you can imagine, I can play .ogg files @ 320kbs that weight a quarter the .aif ones weight, but does it take much more cpu process?(aslong as it has to decode the file I supose there must be some computational cost in addition)
Thanx! (pd-list kicks ass, awesome people!)

You are right. I am confusing two things worth distinguishing,
the current working directory and the path to the saved file.
Analogously to other environments, C/Perl/Python etc, the
distinction is something like that between the variables

CWD = Initially the directory from which the application
      was launched, but can change during an invokation

FILE = a path belonging to an asset of application, the path
       to a script or source module.

I'm not sure the latter exists in Pd, or if it would even be helpful
if it did.

Yes. The console could even prepend a path like Bash $PS, although
many would be annoyed by that where the path grows long.

Just thinking aloud at this stage.
